Activities at Moors Manor Care Home
Our activities team are great at building the activities programme around the likes and interests of the people we care for. Ensuring that our social events offer fun and adventure is part of the ethos of our home; it’s important that those we support can enjoy an active and social lifestyle. Of course, there will always be those who prefer peace and quiet, and in these instances, a cup of tea and a chat are always welcomed.

Dementia Action week - Therapy tortoises
In support of Dementia Action week we decided to ask our Head Chef Phil if he would bring in his three tortoise for our residents to pet and feed. This is a fantastic exercise for some of our residents, it has been proven that touching and stroking animals is very therapeutic.

Celebrating the Kings Coronation
Excitement was in the air as we all celebrated the highly anticipated Coronation of King Charles in style.
Our home was beautifully decorated with themed flags, banners and red, white and blue balloons, setting the stage for a grand royal afternoon tea and quiz.
The whole home came together, along with families, friends and local community members to celebrate our new King and talk about the new era the country is entering.
Our talented chef prepared an assortment of delicious sweet and savoury treats for all to enjoy, accompanied by a glass of champagne.
We all had such a brilliant time celebrating the Coronation, such a momentous occasion.
